Q.123) In the question given below, a passage/statement is given followed by three statements
which may or may not strengthen/weaken the assertion made in the passage. Answer the
questions as per the individual direction given.
It's highly probable that 50 years from now, it is likely that the 2D internet we now all use will
seem laughably archaic. Not only will the internet likely exist behind a screen, but it is probable
that we will interact with it differently. We'll manipulate objects using augmented reality (AR),
78 | Page
explore virtual-reality (VR) worlds, and meld the real and the digital in ways we can currently not
imagine.
Which of the following, if true, would strengthen the argument made in the above passage?
I. Truly immersive computing and augmented reality, at scale and accessible by billions of humans
in real time, will require a 1,000-times increase in computational efficiency from today's state of
the art.
II. Precipitated by the pandemic, we are transitioning away from the nine-to-five commute and
turning our backs on the traditional office setting, enabled by a newfound love of virtual
meetings.
III. One company not only let you see how its sunglasses look like on your face, it is also working
on using augmented reality to virtually show you how the world will look like through different
lenses.

I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak'
argument.
Statement: Should over the top (OTT) platforms such as Whatsapp, Signal and Facebook be
required to obtain licences to operate in a country just like telecom companies both of which
provide services like voice calling, messaging and video calling?
Arguments:
I. Yes, because it will create a level playing field by making OTT platforms liable to pay taxes and
levies that telecom companies already do.

and other regulatory obligations imposed on .
[1] Only argument I is strong
[2] Only argument II is strong
[3] Either I or II is strong
[4] Neither I nor II is strong
[5] Both I and II are strong
Q.132) The question given below consists of a statement, followed by two arguments numbered
I and II. You have to decide which of the argument is either a ‘strong’ argument or ‘weak’
argument or both or neither of them is ‘strong’ or ‘weak’.
Despite the popularity of economic liberal ideas and globalization, the increasing severity of
energy and environmental problems has raised many questions about the ability of markets to
solve these problems. Kyoto Agreement ultimately resulted in the creation of a market-based
system. The privatization of environmental problems has helped to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions while generating significant amounts of wealth.
Arguments:
81 | Page
I. Yes, it is important to balance economic goals with environmental protection to ensure a
sustainable future for generations to come.
II. No, economic liberal ideas and globalisation directly help in conserving climate and thereby
there is no need to implement the market-based system.
Q.133) Each question given below consists of a statement, followed by two arguments numbered
I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak'
argument.
Statement: Should the demand of exporters, who are facing liquidity challenges, for extending
GST (Goods and Services Tax) exemption on freight be met?
Arguments:
I. Yes, because GST on export freight is revenue-neutral as exporters can claim a refund after
making the payment, so extending the exemption will improve exporters' liquidity.
II. Yes, because GST on export freight is levied by the central government, which has the
discretionary powers to provide exemption from the tax.
Q.134) Read the following group of statements and identify the main conclusion in the argument.
Considering the rate at which these photo voltaic panels are being installed around the country,
India is expected to generate an enormous amount of waste over the next 20 years. In fact, India
is expected to become one of the top five leading photovoltaic waste producers worldwide by
2050. India should note that it doesn’t find itself caught unprepared against a new problem in the
future for two good reasons.
First, simply clubbing PV waste with other e-waste could lead to confusion. Secondly, the waste
generated from PV modules and their components is classified as ‘hazardous waste’ in India.
[1] Implementing e-waste management programs can be expensive and may require significant
financial resources.
82 | Page
[2] E-waste management requires specialized equipment and technical expertise, which may not be
readily available in all areas.
[3] E-waste management often involves complex regulations and requirements that can be difficult
to navigate.
[4] India should formulate and implement provisions specific to PV waste treatment within the
ambit of the e-waste guidelines.
[5] Now is the right time for it to install clear policy directives, well-established recycling strategies,
and greater collaboration to tackle waste.
Q.135) In the question below, two statements (I) and (II) are given. These statements may be
either independent causes or may be effects of independent causes or a common cause. One of
these statements may be the effect of the other statement. Read both the statements and decide

Q.136) In the question given below, a passage/statement is given followed by three statements
which may or may not strengthen/weaken the assertion made in the passage. Answer the
questions as per the individual direction given.
If every crevasse in your home is overflowing with objects you haven't used in more than five
years, it would be fairly safe to say you are a hoarder. And if the very thought of parting with
possessions you no longer need creates distress, you may have hoarding disorder. You are not
alone - most Indians are known for hoarding, a habit probably triggered by generations of making
do and not having enough.
Which of the following, if true, would strengthen the argument made in the above passage?
I. Collectors typically acquire possessions in an organised and targeted fashion whereas hoarders
acquire objects impulsively, with little active planning.
II. A typical Indian middle-class family has a room exclusively for holding all the big and small
items hidden by generations of family members.

Shoes are three boxes above B, this is not possible in case III, so case III is rejected, so shoes are kept
at the topmost box and B is box 6.
A is immediately above F, so A is box 2 and F is box 1.
Box, which contains Pens, is immediately above I, so I is box 7.
C is three boxes above the box, which contains lowest no. of items, so B contains 7 items.

Q95) Explanation:
Start with T and P as one of them is sitting at the extreme end and T sits 4 th to the left of P.
The one who faces P sits second to the left of F. S sits exactly in the middle of the row.
So, we have 2 possible cases i.e., either T or P sits at the extreme end.
Case I: When T sits at the extreme end:
Case II: When P sits at the extreme end:
103 | Page
Number of persons sitting to the left of F is twice the number of persons sitting to the right of F. The
one who faces P sits to the immediate left of G and that person is neither C nor D. Number of persons
sit between P and R is same as the number of persons sit between T and S.
So, case II is rejected as number of persons sitting to the left is twice than the number of persons
sitting to the right of F.
Now, 2 persons are sitting between T and S so, 2 persons are sitting P and R which means R must
be sitting to the left of P.
T neither faces C nor D. No one sit between S and V. At least two persons sit between G and E. R
does not face B. At most one person sit between S and Q. U neither faces E nor C.
104 | Page
Now, E either sits to the left or right of G. Also, Q must be sitting 2 nd to the right of S as at most one
person sits between them. Now, we have left with one place in row 1 i.e., immediate right of Q so,
U must be sitting immediate right of Q.
Now, If U sits immediate right of Q which means E must be sitting to the right of G as U neither face
E nor C.
The final arrangement before the movement is as follows:
Now, A throws the dice and gets 4 which means R exchanges his seat with E.
105 | Page
F throws the dice and gets 3 which means B exchanges his seat with E.
Finally, V throws the dice and gets 1 which means T exchanges his seat with G.
The final figure after the movement is as follows:

Q102) Explanation:
In order to ensure the statement that holds V > Z and K < Y definitely true, we have to check all the
options one by one
1. V > Z True
K<Y False (opposite sign between K and Y)
2. V > Z True
3. V > Z False (V => Z)
K<Y True
4. V > Z True
K<Y True
5. V > Z False (Z > V)

Q103) Explanation:
In order to ensure the statement that holds M >= R definitely true, we have to check all the options
one by one
1. M => R False (opposite sign between M and R)
2. M => R False (M > R)
3. M => R False (opposite between M and R)
4. M => R False (opposite sign between M and R)
5. M => R True (R <= M)
option 5 is the right answer.
Q104) Explanation:
Data in both statements I and II together are not necessary to answer the question i.e.,
From statement I:
F sits second to the right of A and to the immediate left of D. One person sits between D and G. B
sits opposite to G. C and D are not sitting adjacent to each other. So, we have,
So, statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II:
D sits third to right of A. B sits on the third seat to the left of A. One person sits between E and F but
neither E nor F sits adjacent to A. E and F are not adjacent to vacant seat. So, we have,
123 | Page
So, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement I and II we get,
Q105) Explanation:
Only two persons sit between C and B when counted from the right of B. A is an immediate neighbor
of C and faces towards the center. E sits second to the right of A. B is second to the right of E.
We don’t have the information regarding the one, who sits second to the right of C.
From option (b): C is an immediate neighbor of A. Person, who is immediate left of C is sitting
opposite to G. E and F are immediate neighbors of each other. F is sitting at the corner of the table.
Further we can’t fix anyone, so, option b is not sufficient to answer.
From option (c): A sits second to the right of E, who sits in the middle of the table. C is an immediate
neighbor of A. D sits second to the left of C. H is an immediate neighbor of D. G sits one of the
corners. B sits second to the right of A
124 | Page
So, G either sits immediate left or right of E so, option c also not sufficient to answer.
From option (d): Only two persons sit between H and G when counted from the left of H, who sits
immediate right of D, who sits second to the left of C, who sits immediate right of E, who sits in the
middle of the table.
So, clearly G sits second to the right of C.
Q106) Explanation:
From statement I, Bill sits second to the right of Anu. Chand sits adjacent to Bill. Dia sits second to
the right of Dia. Ema does not sit adjacent to Anu.
Case 1:
125 | Page
Case 2:
Either Anu or Ema sits immediate left of Faiz
From statement II, Ema sits adjacent to Dia. Chand sits adjacent to Bill. Dia sits second to the right
of Chand. Faiz sits adjacent to Bill. Ana does not sit adjacent to Chand.
Anu sits immediate left of Faiz.
So, data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while data in statement I alone is
Q107) Explanation:
From statement I, Y is 3cm to the west of T. V is 6cm to the east of Y. U is 3cm to the south of T. W
is 9cm to the east of Z. X is 6cm to the west of W. V is 5cm to the south of X.
The following arrangement can be drawn from the given statements:
126 | Page
So, W is to the northeast of U.
From statement II, Z is 6cm to the north of U. X is 3cm east of Z. V is 5cm south of X. Y is 6cm west
of V. T is the midpoint of Y and V. W, which is in east of X, is 13cm to the northeast of Y.
The following arrangement can be drawn from the given statements:
So, W is to the northeast of U.
So, data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Q118) Explanation:
Detailed solution:
F, who is sitting 2nd to the right of Q, is sitting opposite to A.
No one is sitting in the left of A.
Three persons are sitting between A and M.
F is facing south.
G is sitting 2nd to the right of C and both of them are facing the north.
E is sitting in the left of G.
One person is sitting between E and N.
Case 1: When Q is sitting 2nd from the left end in row 1. B is sitting to the immediate left of D, who
is sitting opposite to O, who is not sitting adjacent to A, so this case is not possible.
S and P are sitting opposite to each other.
Case 2: When Q is sitting at the left end of row 2. Neither S nor P is sitting in row 1, so this case is
not possible.
R is not sitting adjacent to M.

Q123) Explanation:
The situation tells us how, in the future, we will manipulate objects using AR and explore VR worlds.
This would combine the real and digital worlds. II and III strengthen the given argument by talking
about different ways in which augmented is helping blend digital and virtual worlds: II talks about
the shift from office commute to virtual meetings, necessitated by the pandemic; III talks about a
company using augmented reality to show how sunglasses look on one's face and how the world
would look like through different lenses.
Q124) Explanation:
The passage tells us that Drug manufacturing company Pfizer anticipates a significant number of
vaccine sales. All of the statements can be possible reasons for the situation described in the
passage. I states that about two-thirds of England's population is yet to be vaccinated, which can be
a reason for the increase in sales of the vaccines. II states that many countries have been competing
to vaccinate their populations, which can also be a reason for the increase in the sales of vaccines.
III tells us about the initiative of the NHS to ensure equal uptake of vaccine regardless of categories,
which can be a reason as well.
156 | Page
Q125) Explanation:
The situation tells us how some organisations have declared a national adolescent mental health
emergency, and how this may be behind a rise in the number of school shooting incidents in the US.
III tells us how adolescents are not able to talk to a trusted adult as people now live in nuclear
families, which makes it difficult for adolescents to consult a trusted adult. It may be a possible
reason behind the worsening mental health among adolescents.
I and II are incorrect as they provide possible effects of the worsening adolescent mental health.

Number logic – difference in place values of first and last letter
In ‘Play’ – first letter is P and place of P is 16 and last letter is y and place of y is 25
Difference = 25 – 16 = 9
Letter logic – opposite of 3rd letter from left end minus 2
In ‘Play’ – third letter from left end is A and opposite of A is Z and place value of Z is 26. 26 – 2 = 24.
Place value of X is 24.
So, code for Play is 9x?

Q131) Explanation:
The statement talks about whether OTT platforms should be required to obtain licences to operate
in a country. I is a strong argument as it supports the statement by talking about creating a level
playing field since telecom companies have to pay taxes and charges to provide these services. II is
also a strong argument as it tells us how licensing will make sure that OTT platforms follow security
requirements.
Q132) Explanation:
Argument I supports the main idea presented in the passage by acknowledging the importance of
balancing economic goals with environmental protection for ensuring a sustainable future. It
acknowledges the need to address environmental problems while pursuing economic growth.
On the other hand, argument II is weak because it contradicts the main idea presented in the
passage. The passage argues that economic liberal ideas and globalization have raised questions
about the ability of markets to solve energy and environmental problems. Therefore, the argument
that economic liberal ideas and globalization help in conserving climate and there is no need to
implement market-based solutions is not valid and weak.
Q133) Explanation:
The statement talks about extending GST exemption on export freight. I is a strong argument as it
tells us how extending the exemption will not hurt government revenues while addressing
exporters' liquidity concerns.
II is not a strong argument as it only mentions that the central government has the right to decide
on providing exemptions from GST. It does not provide a reason supporting the extension of
exemption.

Q134) Explanation:
The passage discusses the issue of generating a massive amount of photovoltaic waste in India due
to the increasing installation of photovoltaic panels. The author argues that India needs to be
prepared for this new problem, and two reasons are given for this. Firstly, clubbing PV waste with
other e-waste could lead to confusion, and secondly, the waste generated from PV modules and
their components is classified as ‘hazardous waste’ in India.
Therefore, the main conclusion of the argument is that India should formulate and implement
provisions specific to PV waste treatment within the ambit of the e-waste guidelines, which is stated
in option D.
Q135) Explanation:
I talks about the robusta bean, which lived in the shadow of the arabica bean, gaining popularity in
the speciality coffee industry. II tells us how everyone is suddenly developing techniques to extract
flavour from the robusta bean, which was not common a few years ago. Reasons such as increasing
cost of the arabica bean or its limited availability could be behind this. Both I and II are effects of
some common cause.
Q136) Explanation:
The passage argues that most Indians are known for hoarding, which is triggered by generations of
struggling to survive. II tells us how a typical Indian family has a room exclusively for hoarding things.
It would strengthen the above argument. III tells us how most Indians are worried about survival
and therefore keep things for the future. It will also strengthen the above argument.
I is incorrect as it talks about the difference between collectors and hoarders and neither
strengthens nor weakens the above argument.

Directions (141-147): Read the following passage and answer the questions based on the available
information.
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has rightfully identified 21st century skills as fundamental
to developing creators. Critical thinking and problem solving, communication and collaboration,
creativity and innovation, flexibility and adaptability, initiative and self- direction, social and cross-
cultural interactions, and productivity and accountability all strengthen the individuals’ abilities at
the workplace.
Relying on traditional literacy and numeracy alone will not suffice and tends to marginalize
differently abled learners. Educators could consider a design-based approach where students
concentrate on a subject for two-three weeks to examine how it can be applied in the real world.
But does our current classroom and content-heavy syllabus enable deep work? Also, how do we
retrain teachers who have been trained in traditional systems? They know terms like
‘constructivism’ but do not know how it should be used in a classroom that is focused on exams
rather than learning. And how ready are our future educators?
In a semester-long study that used Wikipedia as a pedagogical tool for teacher training, 65 pre-
service (B.Ed) teachers were asked to improve the pages on Wikipedia related to educational
concepts. Excluding a few, the content created by most participants was either sent back to them
or deleted by neutral editors of
Wikipedia. The content, it was found, was plagiarised, did not provide citations, lacked basic writing
and grammar skills, etc. After three iterative cycles that were emotionally intense, the teachers
were able to contribute content to over 75 Wikipedia articles in English and over 50 articles in
Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Gujarati, Assamese and Punjabi. All the content was
related to educational technology. The critical feedback from various Wikipedia editors was crucial
because it was unbiased. This feedback forced the learners to re-evaluate their skills. This shows
that constant engagement, an emotional connection, and immersive learning are important parts
of education. EdTech apps can deliver content that caters to multiple learning styles, learning curves
and pace of learning. The pandemic has shown that traditional teacher and brick-and-mortar
schools may become obsolete if radical pedagogical changes do not follow.
Q141.Which of the following measures has been suggested in the given passage for improvement
of the education system?
A. Educators will have to find ways to minimize their engagement strategies while integrating

D. Basic grammar and writing abilities were lacking in the text.
E. None is incorrect.
Q143.The author is in line with-
A. Children have lost all personal contact with their social group due to the pandemic.

According to the context, it is important to make strategy to encourage limited use of water.
Q155. Answer: C
; ‘shows potential in easing the symptoms’ Here, ‘potential’ acts as a noun and preposition ‘in’ will
be followed by present participle. The correct answer is option C.
Q156. Answer: C
The sentence is in past perfect tense as the Indian team had defeated the England team in the last
year. Thus, options A and B are incorrect. In case of option D, ‘India’ must be replaced with ‘Indian’
as it is used as an adjective. The only correct statement is option
C. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Q157. Answer: E
Among the given sentences, (B) is the first sentence after rearrangement as it sets the theme of all
other sentences which are based on Mr. Austin’s visit to India. Further, it will be followed by (F) for
which the hint can be drawn from ‘his visit this early’. Statement (D) will follow (F) because the hint

for this will be drawn from sentence (C), which mentions the sequence of areas. The statement (F)
indicates the bilateral ties; (F) indicates the Indo-Pacific and finally (A) hints towards the Afghanistan
issue. To conclude the passage (E) will be placed at last which mentions ‘finally’ indicating towards
the concluding statement. Therefore, the correct sequence will be BFDACE. Hence, option (e) is the
most suitable answer choice.
Q158. Answer: C
the concluding statement. Therefore, the correct sequence will be BFDACE. Hence, option (c) is the
Q159. Answer: C
the concluding statement. Therefore, the correct sequence will be BFDACE. Hence, option (c) is the
Q160. Answer: A
the concluding statement. Therefore, the correct sequence will be BFDACE. Hence, option (a) is the
Q161. Answer: B
180 | Page
the concluding statement. Therefore, the correct sequence will be BFDACE. Hence, option (b) is the
Q162. Answer: C
Out of the five given parts, part (c) has a grammatical error. Usage of (ASSESSING) is incorrect
because here to+V1 structure will be followed. So “assess” will be the correct word. Correction- “of
Uttarakhand to assess the”
Hence option C is the correct answer.
Q163. Answer: A
Out of the five given parts, part (a) has a grammatical error. Usage of (MUCH) is incorrect because
for countable nouns we always use ‘many’. So “many” will be the correct word. Correction- “As
many as 150 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs)”
Hence option A is the correct answer.
Q164. Answer: D
Out of the five given parts, part (d) has a grammatical error. Usage of (have lead) is incorrect because
“have” is followed by V3 and the third form of lead will be led. So “led” will be the correct word.
Correction- “have led to food scarcity”

Hence option D is the correct answer.
Q165. Answer: E
Out of the five given parts, part (e) has a grammatical error. Usage of verb (involving) is incorrect.
(involving) will be replaced by the noun (involvement)
Correction- “involvement in arms trafficking”
Hence option E is the correct answer.
Q166. Answer: D
Out of the five given parts, part (d) has a grammatical error. Usage of (were) is incorrect. Vaccination
programme is singular so the verb that will be used is also singular. So “was” will be the correct
word.
Correction- “was science-born”
Hence option D is the correct answer.
Q167. Answer: D
Adamant means refusing to be persuaded or to change one's mind.
If we look at the sentences given here, we can easily understand that in sentence C the context does
not quite match with the word adamant.
We need a word which has a positive sense. So, it is incorrectly used here.
181 | Page
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
Q168. Answer: C
Solution: Enervate means (lacking) or drained of energy or vitality. In sentence C it gives just the
opposite sense of enervate and hence is incorrect.
Therefore, in the given question the correct answer is option C.
Q169. Answer: B
Ubiquitous means present, appearing, or found everywhere.
In statement B, the word ‘scarce’ could have been used. The context and sense is completely
opposite.
Therefore, in the given question the correct answer is option B.

Q170. Answer: A
Negligent means failing to take proper care over something.
In the very first question we can see that there is a clear contradiction of senses. A person cannot
be punctual as well as negligent both. Hence we can understand that it is incorrectly used here.
Therefore, in the given question the correct answer is option A.

Q.171) Solution – 5
Detailed solution:
From I:
3x(x - 12) + 72 = x²- 11x – 5
Or, 3x²- 36x + 72 – x²+ 11x + 5 = 0
Or, 2x²- 25x + 77 = 0

Or, 2x²- 14x - 11x + 77 = 0
194 | Page
Or, 2x(x - 7)-11(x - 7) = 0
Or, (2x - 11) (x - 7) = 0
So, x = 5.5 or 7
So, a = 5.5 and b = 7
From II:
5y(y - 3) - 64 = y(3y - 2) – 19
Or, 5y²- 15y - 64 = 3y²- 2y – 19
Or, 5y²- 3y²- 15y + 2y - 64 + 19 = 0
Or, 2y²- 13y - 45 = 0
Or, 2y²- 18y + 5y - 45 = 0
Or, 2y(y - 9) + 5(y - 9) = 0

Or, (2y + 5) (y - 9) = 0
So, y = -(5/2) = -2.5 or 9
So, c = -2.5 and d = 9
From III:
(z + 2a - d)² = 169
Or, (z + 2 X 5.5 - 9)² = 169
Or, (z + 2)² = 169
Or, z + 2 = ±13
So, z = 11 or -15
‘z’ Relation ‘k’
11 = 11
-15 < 11
Therefore, z ≤ k
Detailed solution:
From I:
2x²- 6(x + 4) = 3x + 11
Or, 2x²- 6x - 24 - 3x - 11 = 0
195 | Page
Or, 2x²- 9x - 35 = 0
Or, 2x²- 14x + 5x - 35 = 0
Or, 2x(x - 7) + 5(x - 7) = 0
Or, (2x + 5)(x - 7) = 0
So, x = -2.5 or 7
So, p = 7 and q = -2.5

From II:
2y²- 12(y - 4) = 7y + 6
Or, 2y²- 12y + 48 - 7y - 6 = 0
Or, 2y²- 19y + 42 = 0
Or, 2y²- 12y - 7y + 42 = 0

Or, 2y(y - 6) - 7(y - 6) = 0
Or, (2y - 7)(y - 6) = 0
So, y = 3.5 or 6
So, m = 6 and n = 3.5
From III:
(15m/2) - 8q = 9p - 4n + K²
Or, {(15 X 6)/2} - 8 X (-2.5) = 9 X 7 - 4 X 3.5 + K²
Or, 45 + 20 = 63 - 14 + K²
Or, 65 = 49 + K²
So, K = ±4
Detailed solution:
The given number series follows the pattern of alternate addition and subtraction of cubes and
squares, respectively.
74 + 6³ = 290
290 – 7² = 241
241 + 8³ = 753
753 – 9² = 672
672 + 10³ = 1672
196 | Page
1672 – 11² = 1551
So, 'P' = 1672.
For I:
Nearest perfect square number of 1672, is 41² = 1681
So, statement I is false.
For II:
1672 ÷ 11 = 152
So, statement II is true.
For III:
P + 28 = 1672 + 28 = 1700
Since, 1700 = 34 X 50
So, statement III is true.
Detailed solution:
For series I:
5000 X 0.8 = 4000

4000 X 0.75 = 3000
3000 X 0.7 = 2100
2100 X 0.65 = 1365
1365 X 0.6 = 819
Therefore the value of the missing number 'P' is 1365

For series II:
(4 X 2) - 2 = 6
(6 X 3) - 3 = 15
(15 X 4) - 4 = 56
(56 X 5) - 5 = 275
(56 X 5) - 5 = 275
(275 X 6) - 6 = 1644
The value of the missing number 'Q' is 275
So, P - Q = 1365 - 275 = 1090

Detailed solution:
For series I:
77 + 29 X 1 = 106
106 - 29 X 2 = 48
48 + 29 X 3 = 135
135 - 29 X 4 = 19
19 + 29 X 5 = 164
So, the value of 'P' is 135
For series II:
Therefore, the value of 'Q' is 72.

L.C.M of 'P' and 'Q' = L.C.M of 135 and 72 = 1080
Detailed solution:
Let total number of players be 100x
Number of players who had played at both levels = 0.10 × 100x = 10x
Number of players who played only at national level = (90x + 250)/2 = 45x + 125
Number of players who played only at international level = 45x – 125

Number of players who played only in Ranji = 0.24 (45x + 125)
So, 0.24(45x + 125) = 144/0.48 = 300
So, x = 25
Total number of players = 100x = 100 × 25 = 2500
Number of players who had played at both levels = 10x = 10 × 25 = 250

Number of players who played only at national level = 45x + 125 = 45 × 25 + 125 = 1250
Number of players who played only at international level = 45x - 125 = 45 × 25 - 125 = 1000
198 | Page
Number of players who played only in Ranji = 300
Number of players who played only in CPL = 300 + 200 = 500
So, p + 10 = 500/2500 x 100 = 20
So, p = 10
Let number of players who played only in BBL = 25y
So, number of players who played in both Ranji and Irani but not Duleep = (10 + 3) x y = 13y
Number of players who played in Irani trophy = 1250 - 630 = 620
Number of players who played only in Irani trophy = (2p - 0.8)% of 1250 = 0.192 × 1250 = 240
Number of players who played in both Ranji and Duleep trophy = (2p + 1.6)% of (1250 + 250) =
0.216 × 1500 = 324
Number of players who played in both Ranji and Duleep trophy but not Irani trophy = 324 - 144 =
180
Number of players who played in both Irani and Duleep trophy but not Ranji trophy = 180/2.25 =
80
So, 13y + 144 + 80 + 240 = 620
Or, 13y = 156

So, number of players who played in both Ranji and Irani but not Duleep = 13y = 156 Also, y =
156/13 = 12
So, number of players who played only in BBL = 25y = 25 × 12 = 300
Number of players who played in both BBL and CPL = 1000 - 300 - 500 = 200
Number of people who played in BBL = 300 + 200 = 500
Number of players who played only in Duleep trophy = 630 – 180 – 300 = 150

So, percentage of gold medals won by school 'D' out of total gold medals won by all 5 schools
together = 25%
And, that by school 'E' = 20 - 4 = 16%
Similarly,
Percentage of number of bronze medals won as percentage of number of silver medals won by
school 'C' = 3.5 X 20 + 1 = 71%
school 'E' = 4 X 20 = 80%
Let total number of gold medals won by all five schools together be '400y'.
So, number of gold medals won by school 'D' = 400y X 0.25 = '100y'
Number of silver medals won by school 'D' = 100y + 120 (Case 'P') or 100y - 120 (Case 'Q')
Number of gold medals won by school 'E' = 400y X 0.16 = 64y

ATQ;
100y + 75y + 90 + 100y + 120 = 64y + 64y + 144 + 51.2y + 115.2 – 86

Or, 95.8y = -36.8 (Since 'y' is a positive integer, we may discard this case).
Case P (ii):
Number of silver medals won by school 'E' = 64y – 144

So, total number of gold medals won by all five schools together = 4 X 400 = 1600
For school 'A':
Total number of gold medals won by the school = 1600 X 0.24 = 384
Number of silver medals won by the school = 384 + 116 = 500 or 384 - 116 = 268
When number of silver medals won = 268, then number of bronze medals won = 268 X 0.84 =

Detailed solution:
Statement-I:
Let the cost price of the article be Rs. ‘x’.

Selling price of the article = Rs. 1.45x
Marked price of the article = 1.1 × 1.45x = Rs. 1.595x
Now, 1.595x – 1.45x = 870
0.145x = 870
x = 6000
So, the selling price of the article = 1.45 × 6000 = Rs. 8700
So, statement-I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Statement-II:
Let the cost price of the article be Rs. ‘x’.
222 | Page
1.5x – 1.45x = 300
0.05x = 300
x = 6000
So, the selling price of the article = 1.45 × 6000 = Rs. 8700
So, statement-II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Detailed solution:
Let the present ages of mother and father be '9x' years and '10x' years, respectively.
Statement I:
Let the present age of child be 'y' years.
According to the statement:

(10x + 10) X 0.44 = y
Or, 4.4x + 4.4 = y
Since, there are two variables and only one equation, it is impossible to find the unique values.
So, data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Statement II:
Present age of child = 10x X 0.3 = '3x' years
3x + 24 = 9x
Or, 6x = 24
So, x = 4
So, present age of child = 3x = 3 X 4 = 12 years
So, data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Statement III:
Present age of the child = (10x - 28) years
Six years ago from now, age of the child = (10x - 28 - 6) = (10x - 34) years
9x - 6 = 5 (10x - 34)
Or, 9x - 6 = 50x – 170
41x = 164
223 | Page
So, x = 4
So, present age of child = 10x - 28 = 10 X 4 - 28 = 12 years
So, data in statement III alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Statement IV:
10x - 9x = 4
Or, x = 4
So, present age of mother = 9 X 4 = 36 years
So, present age of child = 36 - 24 = 12 years
So, data in statement IV alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Detailed solution:
Let the speed of boat 'A' in still water = 'x' km/h
Then, speed of boat 'B' in still water = (x + 8) km/h
Let the speed of the stream = 'y' km/h

Upstream speed of boat 'A' = (x - y) km/h
Downstream speed of boat 'A' = (x + y) km/h
Upstream speed of boat 'B' = (x + 8 - y) km/h
Downstream speed of boat 'B' = (x + 8 + y) km/h
According to the statement,

(x + y) : (x + 8 - y) = 9:8
Or, 8x + 8y = 9x - 9y + 72
224 | Page
Or, 17y = x + 72 - [equation I]
Also, according to the statement,
(x - y) : (x + 8 + y) = 6:11
Or, 11x - 11y = 6x + 48 + 6y
Or, 5x = 17y + 48
Or, 17y = 5x - 48 - [equation II]

Equating equations (I) and (II)
So, x + 72 = 5x – 48
Or, 120 = 4x
So, x = (120/4) = 30
Therefore, speed of boat 'A' and boat 'B' in still water is 30 km/h and 38 km/h, respectively
So, y = (5 X 30 - 48) ÷ 17 = 102 ÷ 17 = 6
So, upstream and downstream speed of boat 'A' is 24 km/h and 36 km/h respectively
Upstream and downstream speed of boat 'B' is 32 km/h and 44 km/h.
Quantity I:
Distance travelled by boat 'A' in downstream in 125 minutes = 36 X (125/60) = 75 km

Distance travelled by boat 'B' in upstream in 75 minutes = 32 X (75/60) = 40 km
So, Quantity I = 75 + 40 = 115 km
Quantity II:
Upstream speed of boat 'C' = 50 - 6 = 44 km/h
Distance travelled by boat 'A' and boat 'B' in upstream in 1 hour is 24 km and 32 km, respectively.
Speed of boat 'C' in upstream = 50 - 6 = 44 km/h
Distance travelled by boat 'C' in upstream in 1 hour = 44 km
So, Quantity II = 24 + 32 + 44 = 100 km
Therefore, quantity I > quantity II
Detailed solution:
Quantity I:
Let the cost price of the article = Rs. '100x'
Then, P = 100x X 1.36 - 140 = Rs. (136x - 140)
225 | Page
And, Q = 100x X 1.28 - 120 = Rs. (128x - 120)
According to the question,
(136x - 140) : (128x - 120) = 19:18
Or, 2448x - 2520 = 2432x – 2280
Or, 16x = 240
So, x = (240/16) = 15
Therefore, cost price of the article = 15 X 100 = Rs. 1,500
So, quantity I = Rs. 1,500
Quantity II:
Compound interest received on investing Rs. 10,500
= 10500 X {1 + (y/100)} ² - 10500 = 2205

Or, 10500 X {1 + (y/100)} ² = 10500 + 2205 = 12705
So, {1 + (y/100)} ² = 12705 ÷ 10500 = 1.21
So, {(100 + y)/100} = √1.21 = 1.1
So, 100 + y = 110
So, y = 110 - 100 = 10

Therefore, (y + 5) % = 15%
Compound interest received on investing Rs. 4800 = 4800 X {1 + (15/100)} ² - 4800
= 4800 X 1.15² - 4800
= 6348 - 4800 = Rs. 1,548
So, Quantity II = Rs. 1,548

Therefore, quantity I < quantity II
Detailed solution:
x³- 9x²+ 23x - 15 = 0
Or, x X (x²- 9x + 23) = 15

Or, x X (x²- 9x + 23) = 15 X 1
So, let x = 1
So, 1 X (1²- 9 X 1 + 23) = 15
Or, 1 - 9 + 23 = 15
226 | Page
Or, 15 = 15
Since, LHS = RHS, x = 1
So, we can divide the given equation by (x - 1).
On dividing the given equation by (x - 1), we have;
(x³- 9x²+ 23x - 15) = (x - 1) (x²- 8x + 15)
Or, x²- 8x + 15 = 0
Or, x²- 5x - 3x + 15 = 0
Or, x(x - 5) - 3(x - 5) = 0
Or, (x - 5) (x - 3) = 0
So, x = 5 or x = 3
Since, p > q > r So, p = 5, q = 3 and r = 1

Quantity I:
Required value = 8 X 5 = 40
So, Quantity I = 40
Quantity II:
Required value = 3 + 40 = 43
So, Quantity II = 43
Quantity III:
Required value = 1 X 20 = 20
So, Quantity III = 20
So, Quantity I < Quantity II > Quantity III

Detailed solution:
Let, amount deposited by Rajiv in scheme A and Arjun in scheme B be Rs. x and Rs. y, respectively.
Interest earned by Arjun from scheme A = 8400 × {(1.2)² – 1} = Rs. 3696
Interest earned by Rajiv from scheme A = x × {(1.)² – 1} = Rs. 0.21x

Interest earned by Arjun from scheme B = y × 0.15 × 2 = Rs. 0.3y
Interest earned by Rajiv from scheme B = 3700 × 0.24 × 2 = Rs. 1776
So, sum of interest earned by both of them = 3696 + 0.21x + 0.3y + 1776 = Rs. ‘5472 + 0.21x + 0.3y’
From option I:
227 | Page
Sum of interest = ‘5472 + 0.21x + 0.3y’ = 5472 + 0.21 × 7200 + 0.3 × 4120 = 5472 + 1512 + 1236 =
Rs. 8220
So, option I can be the answer.

From option II:
Rs. 8580
So, option II cannot be the answer.
From option III:
Rs. 8772
So, option III can be the answer.

Detailed solution:
Let the speed of the rescue boat = '10x' km/h
Then, speed of the stream = 10x X 0.6 = '6x' km/h
So, downstream speed of the boat = 10x + 6x = '16x' km/h

So, time taken by the boat to reach the point where the man fell = (64/16x) = (4/x) hours
So, distance travelled by the man who fell in (4/x) hours = (4/x) X 6x = 24 km
Now, distance between the boat and the man = 24 km
Relative speed of the boat w.r.t the man = 16x + (5 - 6x) = (10x + 5) km/h
According to the question,

{24/(10x + 5)} = (48/60) = 0.8
Or, 24 = 8x + 4
So, x = (20/8) = 2.5
So, downstream speed of the boat = 16 X 2.5 = 40 km/h
So, total distance covered by the boat = 64 + 0.8 X 40 = 64 + 32 = 96 km

Detailed solution:
For paper A:
Area = Area of square - 4*Area of quadrant.
Radius = 14/2 = 7mm
228 | Page
Required area = (130*130) - area of circle of radius 7mm
Required area = 16900 - 22/7 *7*7
Area = 16746 m²
For paper B:
Length of paper= 150mm
Breadth of paper = 150/1.2 = 125mm

Radius of semi circle = 125/2 = 62.5mm
Remaining area = 150*125 - 62.5*62.5*22/7
= 18750 - 12276.8
= 6473.2
Required percentage = (16746-6473.2)*100/16746

= 61.3% less
Detailed solution:
All divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 itself.
Now, if N is divisible by 12, then it is automatically divisible by all other divisors. So, it cannot be
divisible by at most two divisors.
So, N is not divisible by 12.
Similarly, N cannot be divisible by 6 or 4.
In other perspective, N can ONLY be divisible by the prime factors of 12.
So, N can be divisible by 2 or 3 but not by both.
N can be 1 also.
So, possible values of N can be 1, 2a, and 3b where a and b are natural numbers.
So, the HCF of 1, 2a, and 3b is 1.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
